Just went for $44,000.
I only stayed in until $40,000 :chuckle:
-
Way to hang in there! :tup:
-
I would have bought it but I couldn't find my bidder #.
-
Should work out to about $100/inch.
-
thats just nutz ... I love to have trophies on my wall but thats a little out of my budget :o
-

Who bought it?

Is that Mike Caripinito, from Carpinito Brothers? Would be cool to see it go to a local farmer!

I could have floated you the extra 5 grand if that's all you needed.... as long as you hung a framed picture of me right below the head mount of the bull you killed with it ;).
-
Wow! :yike:
-
Now, he is going to have to pay some guide a pile of money on top of the tag to find him a real monster.

Yeah, he is the one who bought it.

Not necessarily

$44,000 is a steal!! The Arizona Governors tag for elk sold for $382,000, and Denny Austed bought the Antelope island deer tag in Utah for something like $315,000!! That's a lot of money generated but they're still feeding these things to wolves? I guess I'll never understand it?
-
Its less than last year.
-
Always look forward to seeing what that buys....lots of money if that is your yearly salary, but for those that have it...drop in the bucket. Hope he does well.

I hope this thread stays positive. I know Mike and have hunted with him. He's a great guy who has earned his money and spends it on what he enjoys/loves doing. Regardless of your personal opinion on how people spend their money or how they hunt, its theirs and their right to do as they please so be glad they continue to support what we all love to do. I hope he kills a couple giants this year!nwhunter

:yeah:
I've know Mike for a long time also-he's a dedicated sportsman whose only real extravagance is hunting. He's earned the right to buy this tag and is only doing what most of the rest of us would do if we had the resources. I hope he nails a brute!!
-
Those are some beautiful bulls! Is this the same guy that drew the sheep raffle tag last year? Hope he gets a nice one.

I think he bought the westside elk tag last year if I remember correctly. I know he was bidding, but I cant remember if he bought it or someone else did.
-
Can't wait to see his monster 2013 bull! :)
Maybe someday I'll be in his shoes.

That is Mike C JR in that pic (great ram by the way) Not sure if it was him or his dad that got the elk tag. Both are great guys that are huting machines. I can't wait to see what they get.
-
Sr bought the eastside and Jr bought the westside from what i heard.
-

That was my understanding as well.
-
Pretty sure SR bought the west side tag as I talked with him after the auction....
-
Congrats to him on the purchases, hope he gets two good ones, and hope the money benefits wildlife. :tup:
-
Thats pretty cool! Maybe you folks that know him can contact him and he could start his epic elk hunting 2013 thread? Im sure we all would learn somthing.
-
if he gets on here im sure theres someone that would love to help him bag a monster bull. sounds like a stand up guy.
